Summary:
The Iberia R-V school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Iberia Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's student population is predominantly white, with a significant percentage of economically disadvantaged students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Academically, Iberia Elementary's 3rd-grade students perform well above the state average in both mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA), but the school's performance declines in the upper elementary grades. While the 3rd-grade mathematics proficiency rate is 60%, compared to the state average of 41.1%, the 4th-grade ELA proficiency rate of 40.8% falls short of the state average of 45.9%. Additionally, the school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 31.9% is lower than the state average of 40.9%.
Despite the school's mixed academic performance, it spends more per student ($10,702) than the state average, and it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.7. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 373 out of 898 elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 558 out of 901 in 2020-2021. This trend suggests the need for a deeper examination of instructional practices, resource allocation, and district-level factors that may be influencing the school's outcomes.
